All That Matters

Shame

Likes to hide

In the voices of children

Who shout when they're shy

All that matters is you're giving it a try

Shapes

Flicker by

A quiet confession

Disturbing the light

All that matters is you're giving it a try

Lay

Down beside

A tender regret

We awaken entwined

All that matters is you're giving it a try

Rain

Crashing coins

They smashed every window

And seeped through the blinds

All that matters is you're giving it a try
